Abstract

The report was written ahead of the Acacia program’s closure, meaning, of the 157 research activities approved to date for this Prospectus period, 52% of Acacia’s projects were currently in progress. The program focuses on improving economic development and opportunities (how ICTs broadly influence social and economic development in Africa); enhancing social service delivery (how ICTs help African governments be more effective in the delivery of citizens’ services); and empowering citizens (how the use of ICTs can reinforce citizens’ capabilities). The report includes financial information, project outputs and outcomes, analysis, and lessons learned. Bibliographic references are included.
